RETIMN OF THE : 158 Tit REGIMENT.—The IsBth reghnent - of Pennsylvania drafted nien returned here to be mustered out of service on ••Thtirsday evening last, when the men -were furloughed to go home until Monday. On that day they returned and were mustered Anit by, Lieut. C. M'Kibben, U. S. army, and 'vas eirietd they would be paid to-day: As'soon as paid they will be discharged. iThis , reginicnt is composed of most of _the drafted men of this county=all but one corn-. pant',, we, believe, which joined the 165th regiment,-rand all the dtafted men -from Cumberland and Fulton. It is conceded on all hands that in ptiint of discipline, efficient "ay and' behavior generally, it was unsurpas ' sad by any regiment in the. service. The men, as a elai,s, were of our own best citizens, and they were most fortunate in their - cd' : oars. r Clol. - David B. 3Tliibbin, of the reg . ular army, was entrusted with the command, 'and while he 'enforced the most thorough discipline, .he -commanded the respect - and of of his men. Indeed it has rarely been the fortune of an Officer to bring to such a high degree of drill and, order generally, raw troops, and at the same time preserve •the ardent attachment of his command. We would indeed that no worse officers than 3l'Bibbin wore the stars of Brigadiers. Ile was ably seconded in all his efforts by Lieut. Col. Troxel, of this county;.and Maj. Hale, of Cumberland,—both efficient, un tiring and brave officers. The following is a list of the commissioned ,officers of the regiment. YIELD AND STAFF. Colonel—David B.

Gossip WITH otra FRIENDS.—"LOCIiti" this kind of 'weather, and the devil. at one's elbow putting a poor fellow into a heat (nat ural ;) with his time honored cry "more copy !" How easy it is, Sir Farmer, for you to read under the shade of "your wide sprea ding beech ;". for you,. Mr. - Miller, alongside of , your splashing water wheel, for you, and yoU, said you, Messrs. Merchant, Mechanic and Professor—how' 'easy for all of you , to read, but how hard, how excrutiatingly hard CHARBERSBURG, PA,, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1863. for us, us the Local editor, to write. - Local has got- to mean "all about town"—lmagine a man about town" weather like this— green apples plenty, and no ice. It is un supposable incredulity, exciting in itself, hav ing a tendency to injure our character for veracity. 'lf our readers will be satisfied we are willing to sit at our front window, look -out, and - tell them all that we see, like the panoratim men. Quanto mutatus—that's Latin for what a'. monstrous difference—there , is between the front of our office now, and some thirty years agone. What has become of the old Book store, then a magnificent-concern, occupying 4he "old Bank corner?" Where is Buck master's shoe store, Buckmaster whose jokes Made a tight boot slip on easily, Buckmas ,ter, who was always ordered by a carefully worded note to supply our feet with "crocodile skin•bbots," 'and who with profound gravity 'always rendered the bill "To one pair croco dile hide boots, for son?". We look in vain for the :sturdy old poplars "whose slender tops t were close against the sky." , What a feat it was to climb one of them, and that too in spite of "Old Allison." There were then no types or typos to soil the house—a grand and solemn parlor was where we now sit, and from the Market St. window of this house could be seen •a, queer stumpy little building called the Court House, and imme diately in its 'rear the honored business offices thereunto appertaining. - Talking of the Court House rernii.Js us of the Bar of those days—of that Bar but one survives, the Hon. Geo. Chambers, by which sample the Bar itself, if it had a voice would be willing to be judged. Can we forget Thomas G. 3lcCulloh, Jus. Dunlap; Arch. Findlay, Thos. H. Crawford, Matthew St. Clair Clarke, Reed .Washington, Judge Thompson, Jos. Chambers and others of the same stature, and still later , Robert M. Bard —verily there were giants in those: days.— Alas for the young men of that day ! they drank, they swore, and some gambled, but —but they were izot mean, , There was no pettifogging—theilnes of society were tightly drawn., r - - But this is' not the, way ,to gassip-WNhe passing. Let's clear away the mists.of the mournful past and diVe at once into the pres ent. Presto. The Diamond is gay with soldiers ; soldiers on foot, and -soldiers on horseback ; - soldiers with shoulder straps, and soldiers . without; soldiers that know how to behave, and sioldiers that don't; soldiers alone, and soldiers with our young ladies. What an attrac t tion,a uniform has for a girl !..„ Last Friday night savir a squad of cavalry guarding a lot Of some thirty rebels who had been picked up in. the neighborhood of the Potomac. The most of them. took the oath of allegiance, which puts them on 'a par with Floyd, and Lee, and Davis, and Stephens.- What a great matter an oath is ! almost as powerful as old Weller's "alibi." The 158th has come home, and we have seen and welcomed many familiar - faces, all of them bronzed by the Carolina sun. They have dont t rnor to themselves and to us. Long live e 158th.,and its gallant_ David B. ...31'Kibbin. We understand a public dinner is to be given to the 158th ; a good idea ; they deserve that and a great many other good dinners. Speaking of dinners, I.lr. Jacob Heyser ban supply any body with green corn for a cola& eration. Hot corn puts us in mind of Jeemes Collins. His' voice shall 'no more be heard throughout our streets, giving us those blessed tidings in relation to "boiled and hot troasting ears.". Ears ! that reminds us of the. great ,number of mules thronging our streets. Our streets are very dirty, and no wonder, when our streets are stables, and the pavements stalls. We are under martial law; that is, a citizen has to mind his-Ps and Qs or he'll get his Is into trouble. It's a frightful thing to have so many men on horseback/or the first time in their lives ; and then if the horses happen to, run off, some may "ride to the devil," and that would be a.pity-,-for the devil. There is an old proverb " needs must when the devil drives." The devil - (printer's), drives me, and I must hurry on. Boils are quite prevalent. The thermom eter says j "water boils," which means, we take it, that at a certain heat we are likely to get a particular kind of watery pimples, that Dr. .Farenheit calls "water boils"—guess that's the kind.. • We advise our friends who find the weath er too hot for working to read Fanny Kemble's residence on a Georgia Plantation. The - book was toritte4 2:5 years ago, but has just been published. , It will make' a revolu tion: No one can read that book and believe it without forever making war - upon African Slavery, aye war to the knife. A friend . complains that a day. or two ago he found a drove of government 'horses in his corn field and that upon his applying for redress, he was informed that "the horses 'would not be allowed to go in again"—on the same principal if a government horse kicks out our valuable brains, he will not be al , lowed toil° it again. Our youngeet boy wishes to knob "when a militia-man,steals• corn, and milk, and pc. Woes, and apples, and wood, and fence rails, and locust posts, and a farmer brings a charge, 'should he call it militia-ous mischief?" is 'very warm—some drink Heyser'll Mineral Water, and some choose ale, others take Mrs., Fohl's ice cream arid still others prefer juleps. Didn't we, say that we had no ice ?, This Was only partially correct, for we hai , e ice, brought all the way fibril Boston--,Oaks& Linn get it up—very'. dear of dourse, but it is very cold and pleasant. Weiried a few tons of it, and found it very good 'Wale it lasted. We suffer much "entomological inconve nience" at present, , owing no doubt to the fact that-our-paVement is a horse and mule stable; A-few cows and sheep an hogs would add to the variety, but not to th'e flies. Don't it seem strange that a negro in the South is not allowed-by his christian master to take an oath in It ,court of I Susti'ce, but is graciously rrnaitted to take the Sacrament ? The excellent: chaplain of the igith tells ,us that the,negro brigade in N. C.'is agrand success. - When Jen:kites:men ,first dashed into ChambersbOrg,l they yelled with one voice " whar's your mai.: 4 This was taken in high dudgeon by our citizens, who thought it the southern form of "Does your mother know you're out." Imagine their astonish ment when they found it- Africo-Virginian for "Where-is-your-may-or? By the byse'one of the Rebs told us a thing which , Pennsylvanians can appreciate. A long, gaunt specimen. of northern Georgia, 'a poor white traili, came 'to Savannah to en list. Some of the boys, disposed to have some fun at his expense, wanted to know what he'd de (as he had no gun) - if he'd 'meet a Yankee with a loaded musket, "What would I do?" drained the felloW, "why I'd pull out my pocket book and ask him 'what he'd take for his gun, and by have his gun quicker 'n lightnin'.

Maps MEETING.- I .A. very large and en thusiastic Meeting of the Union men was held in the diamond on Monday evening last, under the direction of the :Union League o this place. Hon. Win. D. Kelly, of Phila delphia, was the speaker of the occasion, and he Nindicated the cause of the government in a truly masterly and eloquent manner. He is a bold, fluent and most impressive speaker, and is second to none in his ability to grap ple great questions and elueidate them tri umphantly. He showed clearly to whom must be charged the responsibility of this bloody fraternal war, and also demonstrated that the last lingering hOpe cif the now 'des 'ponding traitors Is in rebel sympathisers in the North who decry negro enlistments, con demn drafts and defy the laws •as far as their cowardly instincts permit them. His able speech was a most conclusive. vindication a the war policy of the administration, and his appeal to Pennsylvania to- maintain , her fi delity to the cause of the Republic by the re-:electron / of Gov: Curtin, was most earnest and convincing. The Union men of the “Green Spot" are grateful to Judge Kelly for his address, and biChim God speed in the good work. Resolutions were read by Isaac H. McCauley Esq., endorsing the ad ministration of, President Lincoln and the re-nomination of Governor Curtin. .• I,PatsettEas IN RicinsoND.—Persons who lilVe relatives or friends prisoners-of war in Riphmoad can communicate with them by letter in fhe following manner i The letter must be ansealed, so that it may- be read by the proper officer in Richmond, and be' en olokd in an envelope, addressed to Maj.
